In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm talking with Steve Hogarth, the longtime lead singer and lyricist for Marillion. Our discussion touched on his early influences, his approach to writing lyrics and evolution in his and the band's songwriting, activism and humanitarianism through the band's music, their new album (An Hour Before It's Dark), and even a sneak peek at the plan for their setlists for Marillion Weekend in Poland in just a few weeks.
I hope you enjoy. Thanks to Steve for his time and thoughtful dialogue.

"I've got nothing to fear about that because the radio never fucking plays us anyway". God Bless you Steve, and the entire Marillion crew. Love you guys so much! An Hour Before It's Dark is fabulous.
Steve Hogarth is a legend. He has so much emotion in his face. The perfect frontman.
"I could talk to you all day." What a compliment! This was excellent Doug. H is an artist that has really become a favorite over the recent months. I really enjoyed the conversation.
Yes, I guess every musician really enjoys talking to another one and not being asked the same boring questions.
H is so very comes over as a great guy I would love that.
I am okay to admit that I was a difficult convert to Mr. Hogarth. I was, and am, a huge Fish fan and I love the first four Marillion albums. But as I have matured and grown and given more things a chance, I have grown to love the second chapter of Marillion as well. Excellent interview....
Very well done. I have had the opportunity to interview H twice and it never ceases to amaze me how down-to-earth and humble he is. He doesn't downplay the influence Marillion has had on the music industry, but neither does he seek the ubiquitous pat on the back many musicians would expect if they had a part in reshaping the way the rest of the world sees and treats independent artists. A great guy and a wonderful band. Cheers!
I was there for the transition from Fish to Steve. I was really apprehensive, but ended up loving both versions of the band. Afraid of Sunlight and Brave are my favs from his era. So much emotion in his voice.
I know this is a long time from when you posted this but I agree 100%. It drives me crazy when people put the two singers “against” each other. I love the first four albums but I love the H albums much more. We can enjoy all the albums!
Doug that was nothing short of amazing. Well done for securing the interview and also for drawing some great responses from Steve
Wonderful interview. I’ve seen your reaction to “Be Hard On Yourself” which was a treat. I know that covering a whole album is a commitment on your part, but I hope that you have a chance to do so. At minimum, I would like to see your thoughts on “Care”.
I met Steve in 1989 for the Season'e End tour because my former drummer and I won backstage passes. We got to hang out with all of them and they were great people. Steve was so charismatic and different than Fish, but hte audience embraced him from the get go. An amazing sweet vibe from a billiant singer and lyricist.
What a fantastic interview, both of you were so in touch with each other it felt I was in the same room with you!
Please do it again soon, brilliant 👍
Really enjoyed this! Doug, You should definitely look into attending Marillion’s weekend In Montreal in July this year. It will be pretty much the same as he described for the Poland weekend, and the best way to truly get the whole Marillion experience.
Seconded.
And check out the band Iluvatar. 😉
What an absolute legend. Top top bloke
Somehow I had missed this interview and I was thrilled when I saw the video title an hour ago. I quitted what I was doing, forgot about my morning hunger and watched all of it at once. It was a well-spent 45-minute, I loved to listen to two thoughtful, caring people talking about music, humanity and social issues. Thank you Mr.Helvering, thank you Mr.Hogarth. By the way, I'm 54, a Marillion fan of 35 years, they are my number one band. I admire their musicianship, their bond and the respect they have for their followers. I enjoy your reactions a great deal, the Marillion ones more than the others of course. Cheers from Istanbul, Turkey.
Doug as a meloman you should definitely keep Marillion as your regular band to listen to. So innovative and ambitious. Me personally went to see then live 4 times already
Seen Marillion so many times live. Met Steve H and the band a few years ago. They so appreciate their fans and are very down to earth. Pre ordered all their albums from when they started doing that.
Please do Neverland live 2009. Love your musical insights and incredible breadth of musical knowledge. One or two more Nightwish wouldn’t hurt 😆
Thank you sir!
That’s cool, Doug. My fav album with H is Brave and Marbles as a good second. Very emotional and heartfelt delivery.
"Brave" is in my opinion, the best album from 1994!! (The Division Bell from Pink Floyd in second) and THE BEST PROG ALBUM OF ALL THE 90s!!!!
Brave and Marbles are my favorite’s also. Brave transported into another world the first dozen times I heard it, when it was released. So incredibly emotional.
Yes, Brave is a great album. You should listen to this masterpiece.
With Friends From The Orchestra is one of my go to albums in my art studio. So proud and pleased to have Marillion in my life. I have just bought my ticket for my second Marillion show.
Great interview, Doug.
Wow! That was a great interview Doug with a great response from Steve. Well done sir! I have been a huge fan of Marillion for almost 40 years. They are my fave band because there is usually at least two or three songs on every album that speak to what I am going through at that time. Marillion's music has gotten me through many rough times. You must go see them live to fully understand how beautiful and powerful their music is. I have also been lucky to meet and chat with all of them over the years. They are wonderful people as well as amazing musicians. Thanx for this!
Just wonderful! Really enjoyed it. Thank you Doug for the work. And congrats with this one.
Great Doug. I knew you would became a Marillion fan. That's why I kept on repeating it in the comments under your reaction videos. Nice interview. Please try to interview their guitarist Steve Rothery!
This is an amazing little podcast, thanks to both Steve Hogarth and to host Doug - some great questions and revelations in here. I'm gaining more respect for Steve and his thought process and lyric writing as a result of having heard this - and yes, as a Marillion fan since 1985, I already knew his vocals, songwriting, and musical sense to be top notch. (Very few could have followed so credibly - nay, brilliantly - in the oversized shoes of Fish after he left the band; after all, Fish really was in a league of his own among leaders of progressive bands, but Steve in his own right has done a great job with the band, as Fish himself acknowledges.) Plus ... Steve displays a much deeper understanding of what's going on in the world-at-large than most of us, probably by virtue of extensive reading and education but also due in no small part to having been tasked to come up with these serious and obviously politically very hard-hitting lyrics. Good job, Mr "h", and thanks to you, Doug, for inviting him on!!
As they sang, they are "Out of the world" ... of the music biz.
Marillion is art in pure talent, definetely free of constraints!
That was a surprice, Marillion's been a go to band for over 30 years with both "H" and "Fish", they are such humble guys and it was fun listen to this
Thank you very much for this video! Hope to see more stuff of my favourite band of all time. Greetings from Spain.
Oh, Doug this was so amazing, Steve is a great conversationalist and a brilliantly observational artist. I have listened to many of his interviews and podcasts. In 2018, I had the privilege of seeing Marillion in concert in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have to say, it was probably the musical event of my life because it was so good. We drove nearly 8 hours through an ice storm to see them and it was so worth the effort to get there. Should you ever get the opportunity to see Marillion, by all means, you must do it. I knew of Marillion prior to Steve Hogarth and he really gave the band, in my opinion their legacy, their raison d’être. He is the man for the job, for sure. Thank you, Doug!!
Amazing interview Doug, so many layers to Steve - seen him in another slightly different light here and I admire him more and more as time goes by. Thankyou so much.
Oh Snap! Awesome! Steve is my favorite musician ever. Very cool stuff Doug.
That was entirely delightful, gentlemen. Cool that he touched on the Beatles role in birthing the progressive music era. I am most desirous of seeing "Get Back" and hearing more Marillion. His talk of freedom as being an epiphenomenon of his manumission from the music industry was most edifying. Peace and love y'all. db
Though I am a bit jealous that Mr. Hogarth looks SO young.
@@robertakerman3570 The ageless generation.
@@robertakerman3570 He's probably spent a fortune on dying his hair over the years. Don't take my word for it, he's quite open about it in his diaries.
@@MisterWondrous & I wasn't invited(jokingly).
That was so much fun! Please do this again down the road, after they’ve been on tour, or after you’ve listen/reacted to one of their albums. That was so excellent Dough.
Awesome interview! Marillion has been one of my go to bands for great music of inspiration in my own musical journey.
You can always go to the Montreal Weekend this year, July 1-3
I really enjoyed listening to your interview. Marillion music has been such a major part in my personal life soundtrack. Doug, if you want to continue exploring H universe, you might be interested by the album "Colors Not Found in Nature" by Isildur's Bane.
Thanks a lot, Jonathan! I just listened to this amazing project "colors...". A bit like Snarky puppy, yet different. Very fresh and creative music.
Brilliant interview doug . I loved some marillion stuff I heard years ago but when I saw them live wow they just blow you away . Seen them 6 times now and going this year to Aylesbury can’t wait. You’ve just gotta see them live
Nice one, enjoyed every second of it, thank you both for this wonderfull conversation.
An hour before it‘s dark…..what a fantastic work
What a fabulous 45 spent in the company of a free spirit that so many of us can adapt to. Great interview Doug✅✅
Thank you for this, Doug. Such a great interview! Steve Hogarth has been my favorite singer since I first heard him in 1991. A true artist.
Absolutley brilliant...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Steve Hogarth a true gentleman
Doug, I don’t know how I was so late in finding this video. I am embarrassed. Thank you for doing this interview. Marillion have been my favorite band for such a long time. You have to see them. It’s truly different. I recently saw them during their three nights in Montreal in July 2022 and have my tickets for 2023. By chance I had moment to chat with H in Montreal and was able to thank him for all the great music. I don’t think any band is like them and no one has fans like them. Try to attend Montreal. You won’t believe the warmth, love and energy!
What a great interview thank you to both for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights into a band that means so much to their fans.👏👏👏
Lovely conversation with one of my heroes, who has just released one of his finest moments. Thank you!
On the topic of my heroes... Maybe ask Tony Banks to do a compository look back on his carreer, now that Genesis really has ended?
Banks is too stuffy for Doug !
@@sturoc0 Banks is only stuffy when he gets the same old same old questions. With a truly interested conversation partner that can nerd out with him, he is a delight to listen to. Like here with the daughter of Alan R. Pearlman, the inventor of the ARP Synthesizer: ruclips.net/video/WUYJTr6YDWs/видео.html
Great interview Doug, good to see you could get him on the show.
This was just amazing. Thank you Steve. Thank you Dave. Brilliant!
wow so lucky to have had Steve on, that's awesome!
Finally, I get to see the infamous rug. Thanks Doug and Steve.
Is that the rug h was was reluctantly talked into purchasing in California? It's very nice.
@@melwilson9531 Yes, I think it is. I'm sure he's talked about it being behind him on the wall in his podcast. I agree, it's excellent. Is it worth what he paid? I have no idea. But it's a great story.
These 45 minutes were a blast! An intense conversation, the two you just seem to click on a common musical level. Brilliant!
Steve Hogarth, my top vocalist since hearing Seasons end in the 80s. It will be a difficult year knowing I can't leave New Zealand due to restrictions and get to one of the weekends. I will just have to keep listening to the new album which in my opinion is one of their best.
I am so happy to see Marillion carry on. I love Fish also but Steve has definitely lived up to the expectations of this awesome band.
I saw Marillion twice and i'll see them in october ! last album is so good...signed by all members like the previous album...a privilege to get a conversation with Sir Hogarth
This is such a lovely surprise! I'm sort of speechless, but am grateful for the collision of two of my favorite music people.
Nice interview sir. I rediscovered them about 10 years ago and they were instantly my favourite band.
Wow Doug what a great surprise thank you for all your hard work and thank you for the great interview
Hello Doug. Great videos you share. And Wow, how exciting to have Steve do an interview with you. I love the band, love the music. Would love to see Marillion come across the pond and do some shows here in America soon,this summer/fall would be nice 👍🏻
Thank you for this one Doug. I really love Marillion and Steve's performances. It's nice to see how real the man is.
Doug… you should head to Montreal Canada for the Marillion Weeknd. Same weekend as their city’s Jazzfest…. Get to see all that awesome music LIVE, meet some fans, and say ‘hello’ to h in person 😉 The vibe is simply incredible and such a wonderful city!
One of my longtime favorites. Awesome band
Thank you so much Doug for interviewing Steve Hogarth. Excellent interview. I really enjoyed that.
Fantastic conversation between the two of you.... I felt like I was at a bar drinking a pint and listening to the both of you talking about music and how H and the band start the process of making an album!! Great stuff!! Now let's see if we can get a U. S. Tour from the boys!! 😎😁
Really honest, interesting and moving interview, well done both.
I could just listen to this all day long. I can't argue with any of Steve's views and he pours heart and soul into the music.
Great interview, i'm a Marillion fan since 1985, i'm proud yo Say this is my fav band
Best regards from Buenos Aires
Great interview. It's always interesting to hear new perspectives.
Thank you Doug, H and Marillion are a wonderful force of nature :)
GREAT!! You hear a 5% from the music of Marillion...and now you interview him!! A great for you Doug!!!
Thank you for a fantastic interview! Very insightful, thoughtful and honest as Steve Hogarth always is. I would suggest you to review the album that he mentioned from his collaboration with Isildurs Bane. "Peripheral Vision" is a stand-out piece but there are other beautiful tracks on that album. After that you can proceed also to their two collaboration albums with Peter Hammill being the last one, "In Disequilibrium" an absolute masterpiece.
Great interview Doug with the Amazing Mr h, we Love him. AHBID is a Very Special Album!
Steve Hogarth gives great interviews
My favorite singer in the history of music.
That was a great interview! I've been listening to Marillion since the mid 80's. It took me a while to accept that Fish was gone. It's hard to realize that Steve Hoggarth has been with Marillion for so many years, actually much longer than Fish. But, as long as Steve Rothery is around, I will be a fan.
Fish was in Marillion for seven years. H has been in Marillion for 33. When they sang 'Lavender' together on stage once, even Fish said that it was h's song now. It's good to know they are friendly. And both versions of the band are extraordinary IMHO. I am a VERY big fan of Mr. H., but Clutching at Straws is also one of my favorite Marillion albums ever. One doesn't exclude the other
Excellent interview. As others have said, the Marillion Weekend in Montreal weekend of 1st July is well worth a visit. It also happens to be Canada Day and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Cone on up to the Great White North... I'll stand you a beer or two. (And I am sure if Steve finds out you are coming up something in person could be arranged)
All respect to Hogarth and Marillion during his tenure. It's indisputable that he brought something essential, and that the band today is defined by his role in it. And I agree with other commenters that having the interview focus solely on the Hogarth-era Marillion was without doubt the right approach.
That said, in the broader context of your channel, please don't overlook Fish-era Marillion. The importance and musicianship of Fish's own contribution to the band's history cannot be overstated. Those first years also contain some amazing work, all the more impressive for how ground-breaking it was at the time.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks to you both
Excellent work as ever, Doug. 👍
Beautiful interview
Great informal and interesting chat Doug❤️
Excellent interview Doug! Two class acts together!
So glad these guys push on without the standard commercial support. Screw radio...It is so hard to find new bands. I still cling to Marillion and all the older bands I grew up with.
I wish I could Like this video more than once! What an absolutely lovely human being is h. Thank you Doug for doing this interview and for some great questions and discussions. When the interviewee says to you "I could talk to you all day" you're doing something right!
H is the best song writer of all time ,,can't wait to see them live in Brighton in September, long live marillion , great interview Doug
Oh, splendid :) I gotta watch this when I have some time - maybe in the weekend EDIT - eeee what a heck - I just watched it and it was awesome :D I will be dead tired tomorrow and it's kinda your fault - BUT I have no regrets! Great stuff, Doug! And Steve is fantastic, as always!
Fantastic interview.
I've been a Hogarth fan from the beginning. Have scene Marillion multiple times since 1987. Please go and see them if you get the opportunity. They rarely tour America. Last time was 2016.
The most recent US tour was in Feb 2018.
I think they were in Canada not the US in 2018, but I could be wrong. It did see them on the last night of the 2016 in NYC. Great show, but a weird night, it was election day.
@@brucewilson3619 No. The last US tour was in February of 2018.
2016 was the last time they were in Canada in the context of a regular tour (if we don't count the Montreal Weekend in 2019).
Doug you should really check out their live masterpiece
Neverland (out of season 2009)
This will blow you away.. Steve Hogarth's emotional vocals and Steve Rothery's stunning guitar work make magic together 🖤🖤
Always loved Marillion but when Season's End came out after the Fish era it took my breath away. Hogarth is a great singer. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT DOING A REACTION VIDEO TO JEFF WAYNE'S WAR OF THE WORLDS?
Awesome. Thank you for this
my heart is full -thank you Doug
great interview well done doug and steve
Doug, when are you going to review Care from the new album?
It will floor you as to how great it is!!!!!
H liked this talk very much….when canoe hear the reaction of the next song from this album
If you react to "Neverland", the best of the many live versions, IMHO, and that of many other fans, is the 2009 "Out of Season" dvd version. Make sure your wife stays beside you for that particular reaction. She could wave at the camera and whisper "Here I am." ruclips.net/video/l3NhNz9-EOA/видео.html
!!!
I was there 2009 in Port Zealand
@@traumadiffuser3705 I may perhaps have spent the entire show standing behind Rothers' guitar amps wearing h's spare in ears in case he keeled over, but I couldn't possibly comment :D
The version on A Sunday Night Above the Rain is my favorite version.
I like the fact that Steve feels he can still express his feelings in his lyrics, especially in a world where social media are now silencing us. Free speech is being oppressed unless others agree with you. Thanks Steve
Holy crap ! That was awesome
Great conversation
Fantastic interview Doug 👌🏻
Interesting that Steve raised the topic of his lyrics being played back to him in Argentina. I have been involved in research where we have taken lyrics from artists with an extensive repertoire including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, David Bowie etc in all these artists their lyrics follow 3-4 distinct themes
That was a quick 45 minutes. Thanks for doing this Doug.
"None of us read music." - I could never imagine that.
What a good interview!
Please, react to "Neverland" from the Out of Seasons 2009 DVD and, as Hogarth himself just mentioned, "The Space" from Royal Albert Hall. I´d love to her your profound reaction on them. It´s the most intense holistic Marillion experience. Pure magic. Hogarth reveals all he is. I followed your explorational journey of my 40-year-favourite band, and I turn 50. Marillion live is something different, there is a certain feeling of unity, congeniality and humanity spreading in among thousands of people. They all become soulmates as they sing along being touched by guitar solos and connecting their own experiences with their essential lyrics. I´d love to her your profound reaction on these performances.
Thanks for this Doug, fantastic stuff.
Lovely stuff.
